Why museums need a well-managed and scheduled collection

The recent theft of several objects from the British Museum has underlined the need for effective collection management among museums, galleries, and other collection-based institutions. While government-sponsored institutions will usually be covered for their losses by the state, private institutions will typically purchase commercial insurance. For such institutions, failure to demonstrate collection management best-practice could trigger negative consequences in the event of a loss, including financial or reputational damage, or less favourable insurance terms.The recent theft of several objects from the British Museum has underlined the need for effective collection management among museums, galleries, and other collection-based institutions.

Recent events create volatility for terrorism insurance

The global terrorism and political violence market has experienced increased volatility in recent years. Civil unrest in Chile, Hong Kong and South Africa generated significant losses. This was further compounded by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In response, the market hardened quickly: insurers pushed for higher rates to offset losses, imposed more restrictive terms and adjusted their risk selection approach. Sublimits that had been available for extensions like “contingent business interruption”, “unnamed suppliers”, “service interruption” and “miscellaneous unnamed locations” were commonly excluded, as renewal negotiations became more protracted.The global terrorism and political violence market has experienced increased volatility in recent years.
